Tour No: 28
The Lion Tamer
by Bash Street Theatre
Full of action, pathos and silent comedy from a bygone era, The Lion Tamer combines circus skills, slapstick comedy and live piano accompaniment to bring you a black-and-white movie show from the golden age of the silver screen.
A down at heel showman is rapidly running out of acts for his travelling circus when a stranger arrives in town. When the lion tamer has an unfortunate accident, the newcomer is 'volunteered' for the job.
Inspired by the comic genius of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin the show is a delightfully entertaining evocation of the silent movie era which audiences of all ages will adore.
